Get ready for the EXAMS!!

Hi Guys!

Here are, as I promise you, several links and materials for your EXAMS training.

First, watch the video on the READING COMPREHENSION post.

WRITING PRODUCTION

This is the most difficult skill to reach, as we have to remember all the linguistic features we have been learning. It takes several years and a lot of exercise to get familiar with this skill. But it doesn't mean we can't be able to write an accurate simple A2-level essay. Of course, we can!

'If you are not willing to learn, nobody can help you. 

If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.' [unknown]

First I remind you to see the link on the left bar of the blog's homepage 'How to write a letter' that gives you the structure of a letter writing and actually of an e-mail, even if this is more informal, too.

General writing prompts:
First, use properly the dictionary from English to Italian and viceversa.
e.g.

Remember to read all the explanations and find the APPROPRIATE collocation in the context!!

Avoid the AB use of that!

Use SIMPLE and SHORT sentences!!!

Remember 'English is an SVO language, so your sentences must start with a subject (WHO) and a verb (reflect on the right tense) followed by an object (WHAT), add WHERE, WHEN and WHY if necessary.

REVISION

Last, but not least: Read again your production and check if there are any mistakes

Here is a video from a colleague (prof.ssa Martini) about frequent mistakes:
